VOInews, Jakarta : Indonesian President Joko Widodo inaugurated the Indonesia Islamic Financial Center (IIFC) in Jakarta, on Tuesday (17/9). In his remarks, President Joko Widodo asserted that Indonesia has great potential to become the center of the world's halal industry because of its Muslim population reaching 236 million people.
 
“This is a big market and a big potential that we must think about so that Indonesia can get the opportunity and it is not taken by other countries. Indonesia has the opportunity and potential to become the center of the world’s halal industry and  the center of the world’s halal ecosystem. With a note, we must strengthen the sharia economic ecosystem.” President said.
